BIOCH120

The GRIN BIOCH120 hopper has a very wide inlet (96 x 43 cm) to allow the operator to easily introduce material. It can be easily folded in two points for space-saving transportation. On the hopper there are the emergency button, the machine restart button and the commands to reverse the direction of the loading roller.

Once loaded, the material passes through the lower part of the hopper before entering the shredding system. Once again, the generous dimensions (33.5 x 32 cm) make the introdcution of particularly leafy material very easy. In this way, even the most difficult pruning are quickly shredded by GRIN BIOCH120 with a significant reduction in working time.

The toothed loading roller allows the transport of the material from the hopper into the GRIN shredding system The roller is made of very resistant steel and powered by a high-performance hydraulic pump. An external control allows you to change the speed in order to adjust the amount of material to be processed according to the type

The ANTIstress system consists of a control unit that detects the engine effort and transmits information to the loading roller. In this way, the loading speed is optimized in case of material hard to process. The ANTIstress control unit doubles as an hour counter to register the actual use of the machine.

The heart of BIOCH120 is the GRIN cutterhead system, that weighs 50 kg. This system is equipped with four heavy-duty, hardened steel knives that grant finely cut material. The radial blades placed inside the cutterhead can produce a strong air flow that has the dual task of: – Quickly ejecting material once processed from the cutterhead to avoid clogging and speed up work – Pushing the material out of the discharge system to avoid clogging even when it is wet and/or fibrous. A flap allows the inspection of the cutterhead (and the roller) for cleaning or maintaining the cutting blades. The bearings dedicated to transport have a cast-iron support with grease nipple.

GRIN BIOCH120 is suitable to chop pruning up to 120 mm diameters. The high-quality chipping is uniform, ideal for reuse without any further processing. The transmission is granted by a double toothed belt with centrifugal clutch.

Optimal performances even with difficult and fibrous pruning such as palm or olive trees. The shredding system, combined with the power of the Briggs & Stratton VANGUARD 627 CC 23HP two-cylinder engine, does not fail even with the most difficult material. The engine start is electric, but also corded if required. The integrated 8.5 L tank allows you to work without interruption over a long period.

The processed material is discharged through a very wide discharge chute of approximately 40 x 20 cm. Inside the discharge chute there are no bottlenecks that can obstruct the material outflow. The shape of the discharge chute has been developed to make the most of the powerful airflow created by the radial blades of the shredding system.

The 360° swiveling discharge chute with quick adjustable system discharges the material at a height of about 195 cm. A deflector allows you to adjust the direction of the discharged material for a proper loading onto vehicles. The generous dimensions and the angle of the discharge chute are developed, once again, to facilitate the discharge of chipping, avoiding clogging issues even when the material is green and fibrous.

BIOCH120 can be easily moved thanks to two hydraulic tracks developed for this specific application. The hydraulic handling is possible thanks to two levers on the dashboard that grant smooth movements on lawns but are, at the same time, effective on uneven terrain and wood areas. BIOCH120 has a driving speed of 2.5 km/h and is effective on slopes up to 37%. The tracks are 105 cm long and the track width is 90 cm. Compared to other shredders, the length and track width are very wide, increasing in this way stability and safety.

The single 627 cc Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine serves both for handling and for operating the cutting system. The position of the engine is developed to shift the center of gravity downwards in order to increase stability to: – Avoid overturning – Improve driving sensibility The single engine also optimizes consumption and maintenance of the machine.

BIOCH 120 is only 109 cm wide and approximately 174 cm long when the hopper is folded. (290 cm with open hopper) These dimensions are very compact for this machine type and allow you to transport BIOCH 120 even on the smallest trucks. It is also possible to store the machine in a small space. The weight of 550 kg is low, even if the construction is very solid.
